1. KNOW YOUR MARKET:

One of the most important steps to becoming a model is knowing your market. What does it mean? Well, for starters, depending on the area you live in, some trends and looks are more popular than others. Runway modeling and fashion show modeling, for example, are not as widespread as commercial modeling for print opportunities such as magazines, newspapers, and sales letters. Also knowing your market will help you know what the agencies around you are looking for. Living in a suburban area, agencies don't look for that sleek, ultra-sexy look that looks like long hair or small town makeup. In fact, the more natural look is actually preferred in suburban areas, while the more fashionable, sleek look is wanted in the city. If your look does not fit your market, then go to the area that does, or consider traveling back and forth to the area that does. Also, know if you are auditioning for a market that is Paytm size, plus size, for certain clothing trends or research, research on target markets like natural lifestyle, city trends, cosmetic companies, etc. Research!.

2. FIND A GOOD AGENCY:

The best thing you can do for yourself is to find a good agency to work with. Agencies should not ask for money from the front, or have a sketch in case anyone signed, which could mean that they later ran away with the earnings of the model. Get online and search the Better Business Bureau website to find a modeling agency you can trust. A good agency should understand your personal needs as a model, uplift you, and never take money from you. They should never put you in a dangerous or compromising position.

3. BE AWARE:

One of my top tips for becoming a model is what you will face. Know that girls' throats can be cut, the wrong agencies may ask you to sacrifice your morality, integrity, or trust to get some photos, and know that it can be very tiring. Also keep in mind that the idea of ​​modeling is not to give you fame, but to create a certain desired look by photographers and companies. You may be asked to cut or color your hair, wear an outfit you don't like, or spend endless hours traveling to the perfect photoshoot location for just one shot. You can be on the set anywhere for 8-12 hours or more. Find out ahead of time that the purpose of using the model is to create the perfect photo. Many photographers, agencies, and product campaigns put photo targets ahead of model needs.

4. KEEP YOUR VALUES:

Many girls do not intend to compromise their values ​​if they know ahead of time what their values ​​are. Never sacrifice yourself to be a model. The world of modeling can be stacked with drugs, alcohol, sex trades, rape, greed, and more if you meet with the wrong crowd, which is easy to do when you're looking for a quick path to fame and fortune are doing. Never do anything to get to the top. You will regret it later. Outside of local modeling gigs, most outlet sketches for modeling lead to compromised conditions. Know your values ​​and stick to your guns! On the other hand, the right agencies will respect your values ​​and can lead you to a great career.

5. GET SOME PRACTICE:

Don't expect to walk into a modeling agency, rotate something and expect them to sign you. Asked 10-20 people of the day to unexpectedly meet with the agency's owners through the door anywhere. Agencies are extremely busy and usually have to complete paperwork for girls and submit photos for review. They almost never see girls walking on the bus. Know this ahead of time and do some practice behind your belt. If you are called to meet and greet, then you need to keep your look casual, yet walk confidently and not look fake. Practice, Practice, Practice!.

6. GET A GOOD HEADSHOT:

When it comes to the modeling industry, you won't get anywhere without a good headshot, to begin with. Do you know someone or is a photographer taking a natural headshot for you. No photo-touching, hardly any makeup, and simple hair should be the top three key points of your photo. I'm serious girls! Modeling agencies hate photoshopped photographs, makeup, fancy hairstyles, or overdone looks. They want to see you in raw if you can change the different types of forms. Remember, you are as beautiful as you are, so let those agencies see you! Most importantly, no glamor shot pictures !.
